The Book of Signs

Comprehensive look at 493 symbols used from "earliest times to the Middle Ages by primitive peoples and early Christians." Entries are divided into 14 different characters, with illustrations for each drawn by the author/typographer Rudolf Koch from woodcuts by Fritz Kredel. In 104 pages, with a sewn binding that opens flat. Translated from the original German & first published by the First Edition Club of London in 1930, this is a newer Dover paperback reprint from 1955. Softcover 8vo (6" x 9.25") has bright orange wrappers decorated with symbols & lettered in black & white to front & spine. Condition is Fine: just lacks that Brand New crispness! Completely clean, binding strong & straight, pages white & unmarked. Only flaw is tiny area of sticker residue to front cover under price.
